The stories and tales that are included in this section of
NOAA History begin at the time of the formation of a national weather
service as part of the Signal Corps. These tales include: personal accounts
of lives in the Weather Service, war tales, stories of experiences in
violent weather phenomena, technological tales, and an account of NOAA
in the space age. Come and share the experiences of those who observed,
recorded, and predicted our weather; helped us decide when to plant
our crops; and maybe even saved our lives or the lives of our ancestors
on the occasions of extreme weather. These stories and tales are part
of the heritage of the National Weather Service.

Storm TalesJoin us as we tell tales of
some of the most powerful of meteorological phenomena and the
